But now, knowing everything was a lie, and facing his overbearing attitude, I could no longer endure it.
“I’m not going.”
My voice was steady, but it made George freeze.
He seemed unsure he’d heard correctly, frowning as he looked up.
“What did you say? Say it again?”
I met his gaze, repeating each word clearly.
“I said I won’t buy you anything anymore, and I won’t serve you anymore.”
“And I’m divorcing Anna.”
“Divorce?” George acted like he’d heard the biggest joke of his life.
“Charles, who do you think you are? You dare mention divorce? My daughter joined a top-secret project! That’s an incredible honor, something countless people dream of!”
“And you, instead of supporting her, want a divorce? Let me tell you, absolutely not!”
He snapped, abruptly sitting up in bed.
Hearing his twisted logic, I found it both absurd and pathetic.
“Top-secret project?”
I scoffed.
“Anna didn’t join anything. She ran off with her childhood sweetheart, Michael, and now she’s heavily pregnant! Your entire family has lied to me for five years!”
George’s expression shifted instantly, his eyes flickering.
“What nonsense are you talking about! Anna isn’t that kind of person!”
